2025 Mountain West Football: Week 5 Game Previews & Predictions

Colorado State Rams Turn to New Quarterback in Search of a Spark

A significant shift is happening for ⁣the Colorado State Rams as they prepare to ⁢face UTSA. The team​ will be starting Jackson Brousseau at quarterback, marking⁢ the first time as 2023 they’ve ‍opened a season with someone other than Brayden‍ Fowler-Nicolosi under center.

The ⁢change comes after a disappointing start to Fowler-Nicolosi’s season, which was initially projected to be a breakout ​year. Now, the Rams are hoping Brousseau can inject new life into the offence.

However, a quarterback change alone won’t solve all of Colorado State’s problems. Protecting the quarterback remains a ⁤key⁤ concern, as ⁣the Rams ‌have allowed ​an average of two sacks per game. Improved offensive line performance will be ‍crucial for Brousseau’s success.

Will this‍ quarterback switch ultimately pay⁤ off for Colorado State in the long run? It’s a question that remains unanswered, but this week’s game ‍against UTSA might not⁢ provide a definitive answer.

Currently, UTSA is struggling, and despite their challenges, Colorado State appears poised⁤ to defend their home field.

Here’s a breakdown of how this game might unfold:

* Against the Spread: Colorado State is favored to cover.
* Points Total: The “Under” on the ⁢total points scored is the predicted⁣ outcome.
* ‌ outright Winner: Colorado state is projected to win the game.

Ultimately, you can expect a hard-fought​ contest, but​ the Rams have the edge in this ‍matchup. It will ⁢be engaging to see how Brousseau performs and if he can provide the offensive boost Colorado‌ State desperately needs.
